stripped-down inexpensive 4-channel mixer for home?

I’ve looked around and found a few options, but Im looking for opinions.

I need a 4-channel mixer for home use only, as basically every gig I play has a DJM 800/900.
I have an audio 8 DJ, so I’m looking for a 4-channel mixer.
I’m looking for something very cheap, because it’s competing with just buying a CMD MM-1 when they come out, and mixing internally when I’m at home. I’d prefer to mix on a hardware mixer at home, but I can’t justify that desire enough to buy a high-end mixer. I don’t need any effects or beat counters or anything, just an adjustable crossfader and four channels. I’m also not really interested in a moblile DJ/rackmount-style mixer.

So what do you guys think? What’s the cheapest 4-channel mixer you’d recommend.

(disclaimer before the newbies chime in: for so many reasons, don’t waste posts suggesting the Z2, or the hypothetical Z4 for that matter.)

Thanks a lot.

DJX-750? POS but cheap as chips.

3

Whats the difference between the 700 and the 750?

4

Vestax 004xl
Denon X500

5

Anything Behringer.

6

Behringer DJX-750, NOX606, or Reloop RMX-40.

All three of them are VERY solid mixers for home (or even road use, assuming you’re the only one who’ll be using it and you respect your gear).

Have a look at the synq smx 2 /or 3 mixers, loads of bang for buck. Theyre actually really good. Im very impressed with mine. Nice eq curves, decent sound, matrix input, sample banks, dsp effects, duck talk on mic, fader and x fader adjustable curves. The company has been around since the 80’s doing audio gear

In my place, I would get Xone 42 which goes for around 500 pounds or try get mint xone 92 or Pardon our interruption...

You’d feel a fool not to get this… http://nsm05.casimages.com/img/2012/04/24//1204240317141343359760870.png

It’s practically a Xone 92 with built in effects.

Ecler Nuo 4! Amazon.com: Ecler NUO 4.0 Pro DJ Mixer : Musical Instruments

No effects or other things to go wrong. And much more solid than anything from Behringer.

+1 for Xone 42 too. If you can find a nice condition used DJM700 that’ll also work well for practice since you use DJMs in the club.

Numark M6? dunno about the build quality but it’s cheap and has what you’re looking for

12

Since when did having on board effects mean something is going to go wrong? :\

denon x1500 (i currently own this)

rock solid analog mixer than can be picked up about £200 on the used market this will beat anything on from lower end manufactures such as numark, Behringer.

also comes with penny and giles cross fader!

ive been more than happy with the sound quality and the eq’s are decent…
